Marku 7
1 Te phoeiah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek hlangvang te Jerusalem lamkah ha pawk uh tih Jesuh taengah tingtun uh.
One day the Pharisees came to him in a body with some Scribes who had come from Jerusalem.
2 Te vaengah a hnukbang rhoek hlangvang te a kut kutmuen neh tanghnong tangaih la buh a caak uh te a hmuh uh.
They had noticed that some of his disciples were eating with "common," that is to say, unwashed hands.
3 Patong rhoek kah singyoe aka pom Pharisee rhoek neh Judah rhoek boeih loh kut te hlaengtangnah pawt atah caak a caak moenih.
For the Pharisees and all of the Jews do not eat until they have ceremoniously washed their hands in obedience to the tradition of the elders;
4 Hnoyoih hmuen lamkah a bal uh vaengah khaw tui a hluk uh pawt atah caak ca uh pawh. Te phoeiah a tloe boengloeng, tui-um, tuidueh neh thingkong te silh ham duela a loh uh tih aka pom te muep om uh.
and when they come from the market-place they do not eat without bathing first. and they have many other customs which they have received and observe, such as the washing of cups and jugs and copper pans.
5 Te dongah Pharisee rhoek neh cadaek rhoek loh, “Balae tih patong rhoek kah singyoe bangla na hnukbang rhoek a caeh uh pawt tih kut tanghnong neh buh a caak uh?” a ti na uh.
So the Pharisees and Scribes asked him. "Why do your disciples not follow the traditions of the elders? Why do they eat with ‘common’ unwashed hands?"
6 Te vaengah amih taengah, “Pilnam long he a hmui neh kai hinyah dae a thinko tah kai lamloh voelh nong, “tila a daek tangtae bangla nangmih hlangthai palat ham Isaiah loh a phong te thuem coeng”.
"Well did Isaiah prophesy of you, hypocrites," he answered. "As it is written, "This people honor me with their lips, While their hearts are far from me;
7 Hlang olpaek dongkah thuituennah bangla a thuituen uh tih a poeyoek la kai m'bawk uh.
But in vain do they worship me, For their teaching is only human precepts.
8 Pathen kah olpaek aka hlahpham rhoek loh hlang kah singyoe te na muk uh,” a ti nah.
"You neglect the commandment of God, and hold fast the traditions of men."
9 Te phoeiah amih te, “Namamih kah singyoe te thoh ham dongah Pathen kah olpaek te na hnawt uh pai he.
"It is praiseworthy, is it," he exclaimed, "to reject the command of God that you may keep your tradition!
10 Moses loh, 'Na nu neh na pa te hinyah. Tedae nu neh pa aka thet tah dueknah neh duek saeh,’ a ti.
For although Moses said, Honor your father and mother, and Let him who curses father or mother suffer death,
11 Tedae nangmih tah hlang loh a manu neh a napa te, 'Kai lamkah na hoeikhangnah koi te Korban Te tah kutdoe la om ni,’ a ti atah,
you say that if a man tells his father or mother, ‘This money which otherwise you would have received from me, is Korban’ (that is, a thing devoted to God),
12 Te dongah a manu a napa taengah a saii ham te pakhat khaw anih taengah na hlah pah uh moenih.
you exempt him from doing any service for his father or mother.
13 Nangmih kah singyoe na pang uh te Pathen kah olka tah a hmil tih amah boeiloeih te muep na saii uh,” a ti nah.
Thus by your tradition which you have handed down you set at naught the word of God; and you do many other things like that."
14 Hlangping te khaw koep a khue tih, “Hlang boeih loh kai taengah hnatun uh lamtah hmuhming uh.
Then again he called the crowd to him and said.
15 Hlang kah a hmanhu ah om tih a khuila aka kun loh anih te a poeih thai moenih. Tedae hlang lamkah aka thoeng tah hlang aka poeih la om.
"Listen to me, all of you, and understand; there is nothing outside a man which by entering in can defile him; but it is what comes from him that defiled him."
16 Yaak nah hamla hna aka khueh loh ya saeh,” a ti nah.
17 Te phoeiah hlangping taeng lamloh im khuila a kun vaengah Jesuh te a hnukbang rhoek loh nuettahnah a dawt uh.
After he had left the crowd and gone indoors his disciples began asking him about the parable.
18 Te dongah amih te, “Nangmih khaw lungmongkotalh la na om tangloeng. A hmanhu kah boeih tah hlang khuila a kun akhaw anih te poeih thai pawh tila na yakming uh pawt nim?
"Are even you without understanding?" he said. "Do you not perceive that nothing whatever from without can defile a man by entering him,
19 Te te thinko khuiah pawt tih a bungpuei khui lam ni a kun tih naat khui ni a pha. Te dongah cakok he boeih cimcaih,” a ti nah.
because it does not go into his heart, but into his belly, and passes away, ejected from him?" By these words he pronounced all foods clean.
20 Te phoeiah, “Hlang lamkah aka thoeng loh hlang a poeih.
"What comes out of a man," he continued, "is what defiles him.
21 Hlang thinko khui lamkah tah a thae poeknah, Cukhalnah, huencannah, ngawnnah,
From within, from the heart of man, proceed evil purposes -
22 samphaihnah, halhkanah, halangnah, tuengkhuepnah, omthenbawnnah, mikmuelh kholaeh, soehsalnah, kohangnah, anglatnah khaw thoeng coeng.
fornication, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, wantonness, envy, slander, arrogance, reckless folly -
23 Hekah a thae boeih tah a khui lamkah ha thoeng dongah hlang a poeih,” a ti nah.
all these wicked things issue from within and defile a man."
24 Te lamkah thoo tih Tyre vaang la cet. Te vaengah im pakhat ah a kun te ming sak ham ngaih pawt dae phah thai pawh.
After he rose and left that place, he went away into the region of Tyre and Sidon. Here he went into a house and wished no one to know it but he could not be hid.
25 Tedae a kawng te huta pakhat loh tlek a yaak. Anih te a canu tah mueihla thae loh a kaem pah dongah cet tih Jesuh kho khugah bakop.
Forthwith a woman whose little daughter was possessed by an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet
26 Tahae kah huta tah Syrophoenician kah Greek hoel la om dae a canu kah rhaithae te haek sak ham Jesuh a hloep.
(the woman was a Greek, a Syro-phoenician by race), and again and again she begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
27 Te vaengah anih te, “Camoe rhoek te lamhma la hah sak dae saeh. Ca kah buh rhawt pah tih ui taengah lun pah ham tah hnothen la a om moenih,” a ti nah.
"Let the children be filled first," he said to her. "It is unseemly to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs."
28 Tedae huta loh a doo tih Jesuh te, “Boeipa, camoe kah buhdik te caboei hmuikah uica rhoek loh a caak uh van ta,” a ti nah.
"True, Master," she answered, "but the dogs under the table do pick up the children’s crumbs."
29 Te vaengah anih te, “Hekah ol dongah cet laeh, rhaithae te na canu taeng lamkah cet coeng,” a ti nah.
"For that saying of yours, go home," he replied; "the demon has departed from your daughter."
30 Amah im la a caeh vaengah thingkong soah aka yalh camoe te a hmuh. Te vaengah rhaithae khaw ana suntla coeng.
So she went home, and found the child lying in her bed and the demon departed.
31 Te phoeiah Tyre vaang lamkah koep nong tih Sidon longah Decapolis vaang khui kah Galilee tuili la pawk.
Again he left the region of Tyre, and passed through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, crossing the District of the Ten Towns.
32 Te vaengah hnapang olmueh te a khuen uh tih anih te kut tloeng thil ham Jesuh a hloep uh.
And they brought to him a deaf man who stammered, and begged him to lay his hands upon him.
33 Te dongah anih te hlangping taeng lamloh amah bueng a hoep tih a hna khuila kutdawn a puei. Te phoeiah a timthoeih tih a lai te a taek pah.
So Jesus took him aside from the crowd, by himself, and put his finger in the man’s ears, and moistened his tongue with saliva;
34 Vaan la oeloe tih a huei phoeiah anih te, “Ephphatha (khui saeh tila om),” a ti nah.
then looking up to heaven with a sigh, he said to him, "Ephphatha!" (that is, "Be opened.")
35 Te vaengah a hnavue te tlek khui tih a lai aka khom te yaih tih balh cal.
And his ears were opened and the bond of his tongue was loosened, and he spoke plainly.
36 Te phoeiah hlang taengah thui pawt ham amih te ol a paek. Amih te muep ol a paek dae amih loh a nah la muep a hoe uh.
Then Jesus charged them not to tell any one, but the more he charged them, the more they published it;
37 Te dongah let uh khungdaeng tih, “Cungkuem la balh a saii dongah hnapang te a yaak ham a saii tih olmueh te a cal sak,” a ti uh.
and people were amazed beyond measure saying. "How successfully he does things! Even the deaf he makes to hear, and the dumb to speak."
